Diddy's sobriety journey took a detour in lockup this week ... TMZ has learned he was drinking behind bars and got in some trouble with prison officials.

Transcript

00:00Diddy has been in prison for less than a month and already a problem.

00:06Diddy was caught drinking, drinking alcohol behind bars.

00:11It is a prison no-no.

00:14And there were apparently steps taken initially to move him.

00:20We don't know if the plan was to move him just to another part of Fort Dix

00:25or maybe move him out of Fort Dix entirely.

00:27We don't know.

00:28But he was caught drinking.

00:31And we know this because we have some sources inside the prison as well as outside.

00:37And we are basically, we're kind of getting the same story.

00:40Yeah, so our sources inside the prison are saying that it's a sort of alcohol that they make.

00:45It takes about two weeks to make inside the prison a mixture of apples, sugar, and Fanta.

00:51So it's all individual ingredients they can get in the prison.

00:54Yes, and then they ferment it and that's how they take it in the alcohol.

00:55Isn't that like toilet wine?

00:57Isn't that what they call it?

00:58It's called, what's it called?

00:59Toilet wine is they call it pruno.

01:01Pruno.

01:01It's like prunes fermented over time.

01:04But they used apples, which obviously we know Diddy likes applesauce, so maybe that's why.

01:09So what's, well.

01:11It'll get you drunk though.

01:12I mean, it ferments and it becomes alcohol.

01:14I mean, look, we're going to just tell you, from inside the prison, somebody there used the term, he was drunk.

01:22We don't know he was drunk.

01:23We just know he was drinking.

01:24We do know this happened on Monday, which was the day before his birthday.

01:27So it could have been a birthday celebration situation.

01:29By the way, they don't excuse birthdays.

01:33That's right.

01:34There's no carve out for your birthday.

01:35There's no carve out for birthdays.

01:37We also know it was serious enough to disrupt this transfer.

01:39So it wasn't a minor enough infraction that they said, we'll look past it.

01:44We're going to go forward with the transfer.

01:45That's off the table now, apparently.

01:46So that's a big deal.

01:47They're not going to do, they're not going to transfer him.

01:50We found out that they, whatever they had planned on doing, that's not going to go forward.

01:54That if there was a plan to transfer him, that plan has been abandoned.

01:58And we're told he's actually getting visitors today from his family.

02:03So it's not like he's been put in solitary or that he's had visiting rights taken away.

02:10For whatever reason, they've kind of eliminated that.

02:14But nonetheless, what is interesting about this is Diddy's history with sobriety and how it related directly to the trial.

02:22It's exactly right.

02:23At his sentencing, most recently, he said, he told the judge, and this is his plea to the judge,

02:29I am now sober for the first time in 25 years.

02:32I have been trying my best to deal with my drug abuse and anger issues.

02:35The old me died in jail and a new version of me was reborn.

02:39So in pitching to the judge, I should have a lenient sentence.

02:42He was talking about how being locked up for the past 13 months has really had a profound impact on his life and his sobriety journey.

02:49And now he's transferred to Fort Dix to start serving his sentence.

02:51And very early on, he falls off the wagon, according to these reports.

02:54So that's a big deal.

02:56Yeah.

02:56And look, he had a severe, severe, severe substance abuse problem.

03:01And if Diddy is an alcoholic, you can't have a drink now and then.

03:07It doesn't work for alcoholics.

03:09There's no California sober for alcoholics.

03:11California sober is BS.

03:13What was it?

03:14It is just BS.

03:15And the idea that, yeah, you can have a drink here and there.

03:19No, that's the idea.

03:20That it is a chemical reaction to the body.

03:23That if you are an alcoholic, you have to stay away from alcohol.

03:29That's right.

03:29But sobriety journeys do take this shape.

03:31I don't want to come down too hard.

03:32It's very difficult to stay on the wagon.

03:34And he's a human.

03:34And if he's battling these things and you're desperate, you will find ways to get alcohol, even in prison.

03:39And it sounds like this is what happened.

03:41Another big question I have is what's this going to do to the prospects of a pardon?

03:45You know, he is in the beginning of serving.

03:48I don't think Donald Trump cares all that much.

03:50But what do you think that factors in is that he's already getting in trouble at the very beginning of this two-year-plus sentence?

03:55Ordinarily, I would say it would have no bearing on a pardon.

03:59But there is something different here.

04:02Trump hates alcohol.

04:03I did a show with Donald Trump in 2016 called Objectified.

04:08And we spent a lot of time, this is while he was running,

04:12but we spent a lot of time talking about his brother who died really because he was an alcoholic.

04:19And Donald Trump never touches alcohol.

04:21I believe never has in his life.

04:23And he has very strong feelings about alcohol.

04:27That was a big part of the Sebastian Stan movie that just came out.

04:30Yeah.

04:30But it resonates with him.

04:34So, you know, Diddy was saying the things I did understand I was a substance abuser at the time.

04:40Well, it's true.

04:41Most substance abusers fall off the wagon from time to time.

04:44It's true.

04:45Yes.

04:45But when Donald Trump is hearing it, it's like, okay, this is the area of the devil.

04:54And now the question is, does he look at Diddy the same way?

04:58I don't know the answer to that.

04:59He might be very strongly sympathetic to it.

05:00He's a teetotaler, but he knows that it's a disruptive force in people's life.

05:03And maybe the best place to get treatment is not behind bars and you go outside and you have more support.

05:08I mean, he could look at it that way.

05:11But I don't think this necessarily helps him on the other hand.

05:15Hi, my name's Tyra.

05:16I'm from Long Beach, California.

05:19Honestly, I'm not really surprised.

05:21I think Diddy thinks he's bigger than a program.

05:24And this is just a case of that, him thinking that he's untouchable and bigger than the program.

05:29Because you've only been in there for two weeks.

05:31So how is this all going on?

05:33Yeah.

05:33I mean, look, it's sort of a walk a mile in my shoes.

05:36I don't know what it's like to be at Fort Dix.

05:37It's not a maximum security prison for sure, but I'm sure acclimating is rough.

05:45That's not an excuse for him, but I don't think he's the first guy to drink toilet wine.
